About Kokoro Japanese Kitchen
Welcome to Kokoro Japanese Kitchen, located at Pinelands Shopping Plaza on Beenleigh Road in Sunnybank Hills, QLD. As an establishment that focuses on food and is a point of interest in the area, our restaurant offers a delightful selection of Japanese dishes, with a particular emphasis on curry and don bowls.
We recently underwent a change in management, resulting in a revamped menu. Unfortunately, some items from our previous menu, such as ramen, are no longer available. However, we now offer lunch specials at a great price, with generous portions. What sets us apart is our extended hours of operation, as we are open from 2pm to 5pm, ensuring that you can enjoy our delicious food even after 2pm when most restaurants are closed.
While our food is good, we strive to continuously improve. We have listened to our customers' feedback and have replaced the paper plates with traditional ceramic plates. Our Japanese curry is a standout dish, combining a perfect balance of sweetness, spiciness, and onion flavors, reminiscent of the curries enjoyed in Japan. The thin and crispy pork chops are tender and mouthwatering. Although the seating area is compact, it adds to the cozy and intimate atmosphere of our restaurant. Additionally, we offer the option to enjoy the pork chops without the curry sauce, for those who prefer a different flavor profile.
Some customers have noted that the meat in certain dishes, such as the braised pork and ox tongue, was slightly overcooked and chewy. We appreciate this feedback and will work towards improving the cooking process. It would also be beneficial for us to provide more details regarding the level of spiciness in our dishes, as some customers were surprised by the small amount of spice in the kara chips and ox tongue dishes. Nevertheless, our meals are reasonably sized for the price.
If you're looking for comfort food and one of the best Japanese dining experiences in the Pinelands Plaza and Sunnybank area, look no further than Kokoro Japanese Kitchen. Our recent switch to paper bowls has been well-received by customers, and our dishes, such as the pork curry and nanban chicken, offer a creamy and authentic taste. As an added bonus, if you spend over $28, you can enjoy a side dish for just $1, depending on the day's offerings. With a bill of around $30 for two people, it's definitely worth it and we hope to welcome you back soon.
In a sea of restaurants that charge surcharges for card payments, we are proud to be one of the few that do not. Rest assured, your dining experience at Kokoro Japanese Kitchen will not only be delicious but also hassle-free. Our daily specials are especially noteworthy, offering excellent value for money. We look forward to serving you again in the future.

Reviews of Kokoro Japanese Kitchen
"Very rich Japanese curry, a little sweet, a little spicy, and has an onion flavor. It is very similar to the curry I ate in Japan. The pork chops crispy are thin and the pork is also very soft. The overall food gives Full marks, but the seats are small. In addition, I prefer pork chops without curry sauce. I like to use dipped"
"It seems they changed their management recently, menu has changed they don't have ramen or other things from last menu. Still they have the specials for lunch at good price with good portions. And also great plus they open from 2pm to 5pm all day service with specials in those afternoon hours. That's great as it is usually hard to find a restaurant open after 2pm. Food was good. Could be better. I asked the staff about the paper plates and those are gone. They are using the normal ceramic plates again. I would come back for those specials."
"Food was tasty though meat for both dishes a little overcooked/chewy (braised pork and ox tongue). It would be nice to have abit more menu details re: spiciness as both the kara chips and the ox tongue dishes had a small amount of spice that was not expected. Overall, reasonable sized meals for the price."
"The foot is really good and such a comfort food. One of the best Japanese food around pinelands Plaza and sunnybank area. Recently they changed the bowl to paper bowl and it tastes good. Pork curry is pretty good and nanban chicken is creamy and feels authentic. You can get a side dish for $1 (depending on what days and what they offer) if you spend over $28. 2 people spend $30 ish. So it’s worth it and would come back!"
"One of the few restaurants in the area that doesn't have surcharge if pay by card. Food was also delicious. The daily special was more than worth it. Will be back again!"
